-For a FS1 Fight Night in Brazil this was a surprisingly good card – not the best ever but somehow better than the effort on “big” Fox the week before! We did lose the co-main – John Dodson vs. Pedro Munhoz – when Munhoz missed weight, but it still sounded like fun to see Lyoto...

-This was by far the UFC’s weakest effort on “big” Fox, basically a mix of really poor choices for televised fights and too many shows at this point watering things down. Jacare/Brunson was a fine fight but the rest hardly sounded barnburning.
UFC on Fox: Jacare vs....

-This was the UFC’s first big PPV of 2018, with two massive title fights at the top, but unfortunately not much elsewhere. I get trying to showcase a handful of newcomers and prospects and stuff but I mean, surely they could do better than this? At least EVERYONE was pumped for Stipe Miocic...

-The first UFC show of 2018 then and the first UFC show in St. Louis – finally! – but it wasn’t the strongest card, mainly because it was a four-fight Fight Night show with no major main event (sorry Stephens vs. Choi!) and it lost it’s co-main – Uriah Hall vs. Vitor Belfort – at...

-The final UFC show of 2017 lost one of its big marquee fights in Jimmie Rivera vs. Dominick Cruz (and then John Lineker too) which meant it was a bit of a lesser PPV to be ending the year with, despite a title fight and the return of Khabib Nurmagomedov. I mean, Cris Cyborg does bring a...

-Pretty good action card for the final Fox show of 2017 even if it was missing the marquee names that usually draw the big numbers for the UFC. But hey, I’m more bothered about quality fights than big names and so-called “money fights” and with Robbie Lawler involved, I was pumped to see...

-Despite the presence of a couple of really good fights in Cub Swanson vs. Brian Ortega and Marlon Moraes vs. Aljamain Sterling, this was one of the year’s more throwaway cards, with a bunch of fighters you wouldn’t normally see on televised cards. Still, that pair of fights looked awesome...

-Despite the lack of what you’d call a ‘money fight’ (fucking YAWN) this looked like an absolutely tremendous card on paper, with a top-level title fight and all four of the other matches having the ability to affect the upper echelon of numerous divisions. Clearly one of the best cards...
